Korg DW8000, Mono/Poly, MS-20...

Hello Jos\ufffd

There is a group on yahoo which is specifically devoted to classic
(pre-MIDI) analog Korg synthesizers, it's called the KorgKornucopia.

I think if you ask your question in that group, you will get responses
from people much more familiar with the MS-20.

Regards,
David
